which he gave the standing of dollar. In England 56 parts go to labor, 21 to capital. and 2S to the government; in the United States 72 parts go to labor, 23 to capital, and only 5 to the government, And yet this is robber tax, says the free trader.
 Our foreign commerce under free trade in 1860 amounted to only 480 million dollars, while in 1882 under protection it was ,475 million dollars, gain of 200 per cent. Yet it our commerce is not growing as fast as we wish, remember that England is paying something like seven million dollars yearly to subsidize her own commerce, while we are paying comparatively nothing.
 We have gained in this country in pro ducts 1855 per cent while England has but 10 per cent. in the same time. Our exports have amounted to more than our imports; In other words we have sold more than we have bought and the balance in our favor is $164,- 600, GOO, while in England her imports have exceeded her exports in the last ten years b, five and one-half millions of dollars.
 MT, Sperry quoted authorities to show that the cry ot the free traders, that not one cent of the tariff went to the worklngmen was false He spoke graphically of things Tn Ireland and Germany. Since Germany has adopted protection the wages showed an in crease or thirty three per cent. He compar- ed Sargent with President Converse, of the Winchester Arms company-one in favor or free trade, the other protectionlst. He dis cussed the question of raw materials, and said it was not so much the cost of the raw material as the labor which entered into it.
 But they say our surplus is too large. Then extend eur commerce, and give it encourage ment by way of bounty; give us coast de- fences, that we need not become laughing stock of other nations; increase our navy to something worthy of the name.
 MT. Sperry concluded as follows: My own experience and the facts I have presented vindicate fully the policy of the system ot protection. It has given us prosperity in all our diversified interests; it has built up many towns and villages; it has given home market to the manufacturers and farmers alike; it has furnished us with fair wages and comfortable living. It has done more. It has cheapened what we buy and improved our individual and national interests. Our leading men and best thinkers are with us and British gold will not tempt them to for sake the people or the welfare of the nation. The cause of protection is the peoples cause, and it will stand because it IS right. It cannot be put aside by the theorist or mes- aphysician No sophistry, however brilliant or subtle, can overturn or destroy It, Tor IL can be studied, thank God, in the history or the countries. The few arguments that l have given tonight could be multiplied over and over again. The subject has not been holf exhausted; only just commenced Bnt the burden of my song shall always be 1.-The love of right, disdain of wrong" Protection is the main chord of industry, thrift, man hood and brotherhood.
